I got about 7 minutes in and felt such bad secondhand embarassment that I had to turn it off.

Spotted tights and stripy gloves, silly hats and lots of love...

I got about five minutes in, couldn't take the horrible acting (especially that Gordon-Levitt kid as a gang banger), fast forwarded to the Anne Hathaway nude scenes, put it back in the Netflix envelope and off it went.

Those guys are only in the film for about 20 minutes top, if that. No reason to turn the film off. And like freekkeesen said, they're supposed to be like that, it's not bad acting.

Well way to completely miss the point. Maybe you should keep watching before judging it a mere 20 minutes in.

Big Gay Al, it has recently come to our attention that you are gay.

Each of you is, well, a *beep* Bad acting is bad acting, whether the part is to play a wigger or Vito Corleone. Go back to playing World of Warcraft and leave this to the adults.

"leave this to the adults." Lol.

An adult wouldn't skip forward to the nude scenes. An adult would watch the entire film and give it a chance before mocking it.

Quit being an idiot. Life is about choices, and when a movie is so bad it isn't worth watching, it's perfectly reasonable to stop.

I also quit watching Beer League after a half hour or so. Got a problem with that? It sucked and I found something better to do with my time. Make sense?

How is five minutes enough time to stop? The opening credits took up about a minute or two alone. And with many decent movies, the whole thing isn't going to be good. But the overall outcome is. Films like Unbreakable, American Gangster, Leaving Las Vegas, Down in the Valley, and many more.

The slow parts or the parts that aren't so good doesn't ruin an entire film.

Lulz this movie was embarassingly bad. I cringed and had to close my eyes and cover my ears at some of the scenes because the acting was unbearable.

Sorry DKgambler but your message served notice of how absurd you are that you could label the acting bad without watching the whole movie.

If you DID, you would realize that the acting was HORRIBLY BAD and OVER THE TOP because these rich white kids are trying so hard yet failing so miserably to ACT LIKE THEY'RE BLACK AND CLAIM TO BE A BIG BAD GANGBANGING SUBCULTURE called "Wiggers" and are a total joke.

The ACTING WAS INTENTIONALLY BAD because the kids were rightfully awful at pretending to be what they weren't. If you made it as far as the party scene with Anne's boyfriend trying so hard to impress by attempting to freestyle like Eminem but failing so miserable as he struggles to come up with words that make sense, much less rhyme and YET ALL THE OTHER 'WIGGERS' at the party were impressed by this and Anne's character even started singing to him to come to her to have sex; by that time anyone but a moron would recognize how intentionally bad the acting was.

In fact that WHOLE PARTY SEASON was placed right there to emphasize that these kids were all a bunch of bad actors. The puking girl saying she was actually feeling wonderful and having the time of her life? Come on, how much more parody do you need before you can see it for what it is?

Some fellows get credit for being conservative when they are only stupid.

That was the point. They were a total joke, and a bunch of "bored" spoiled teenagers who knew little of the real world. (I mean really, "down" and "real" Allie (or perhaps it was Emily) lived in a gated community with police ready to protect them at any given moment. As Manuel pointed out, they weren't even imitating real gangsters, just what what they saw in movies.

Chuck Norris once killed a man by simply showing him how to love.

The acting is excellent. You have to be able to distinguish between a movie that is stupid and a movie that is about stupidity. The characters are stupid, and they act that exactly right.

The acting in here is pretty good, especially by Biehn, Hathaway & Rodriguez. Levitt & Vogel were SUPPOSED to sound stupid, they weren't really gangbangers and they weren't black, they did that because they were bored and wanted to be cool. How the hell can you judge a film before anything even happens? If that's the case, I should turn off REC when the reporter talks in spanish. That last scene was really good and very intense. That shot of Levitt slowly tearing up and that slow motion shot were great too.

"Two White Losers"? Everybody in this piece of dreck is lost.

One reviewer said that, "It's a bit like Shakespeare, as retold by Paris Hilton."
